This new collection of 50 assemblies from our prolific children's author Michael Forster contains everything you need for a lively and interesting session.

Each assembly consists of:

• Suggestions for group preparation

• A bible story retold in a lively way

• A photocopiable dramatised version of the story

• Prayers in a language children can relate to

• Suitable hymn and song suggestions, and some new songs to learn

The suggestions for group preparation link the stories to present day experiences and encourage further reflection both before and during the assembly.

Michael Forster is an experienced teacher and the author of several best-selling children's books. Material in The Bumper Book of Assemblies originally appeared in God's Wonderful Ways and Wonderful World!, both of which are now out of print.
